Front BUmper question

I have a 91 Camaro rs...My front bumper is missing a piece and is cracked in a few spots from a prior accident. I can get a Front bumper from a 91 Trans-AM from a junk yard for almost nothing. My question is will it fit and look ok on my maro?

it might phsyically bolt up (not sure) but it won't "FIT" and it will never look right, the fenders are shaped differently, the hood would have fitment issues too

LOL

Those Ford Camaros are pretty nice rides, huh!??!

hehehehehe

That's funny. An interesting moment in the new Spiderman movie just out on video... in the DVD commentary, Sam Raimi and a producer comment on the car used in a particular scene...the Plymouth 'viper',... as it turns out, actually a Prowler, but they almost forget while recording the commentary. I wouldn't be able to live that incident down!

hehe

Oh good, a Camarobird. You and the "maro" will definately get laughed at... please don't do it...! Spend the extra coin on a Camaro's bumper and you'll be much happer. If the piece that's missing is small enough, you can fix the cracks and possibly re-build the piece using fiberglass.

Nothing wrong with a Camarobird in my book, just another expression of custom individuality

In my opinion, it looks dumb, but to each their own. If you want to do it, go ahead.


If you're doing it for cost, however, forget it. I don't care how cheap that Trans-AM front bumper is, the cost of headlights and a new hood will be more than the price will add up quickly.
